Union Berlin will be bidding to end an eight-game losing run in all competitions when they resume their Champions League Group C campaign against Napoli on Tuesday night.
The Bundesliga side are currently bottom of the section on zero points, having lost their opening two games to Real Madrid and Braga, while Napoli are second, picking up three points from an available six.
Indeed, Jude Bellingham scored a last-gasp winner for Real Madrid at Bernabeu on matchday one, before the German side threw away a two-goal lead against Braga last time out to lose 3-2, with the Portuguese team netting their third in the 94th minute of the contest.
There is no getting away from the fact that it has been a hugely difficult start to the season for the Iron Ones, who have lost eight of their 11 matches in all competitions.
Union Berlin actually started the 2023-24 campaign with three straight wins, but they have lost all eight since, including defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart in the Bundesliga since their last European fixture, with the team currently sitting down in 15th position in the Bundesliga table.
